Walker will start Thursday's matchup against the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Coming off back-to-back solid performances, Walker fell flat against the Bengals in the first half of Sunday's Week 9 loss and ultimately was replaced by Baker Mayfield, suggesting Walker's time as the primary signal-caller may have come to an end. However, the former XFL quarterback will get another crack versus Atlanta, who the Panthers played Week 8 and featured Walker's 62-yard Hail Mary touchdown to DJ Moore to force OT in an eventual loss. Sam Darnold was activated off IR on Monday morning, but with Carolina on a short week, the Panthers will opt to go with Walker for at least one more contest while Darnold gets back to full speed.
